Interesting. Doesn't seem to be much better benchmark-wise, but at least the temperature problem appears to be fixed compared to Ivy Bridge. I'll be buying a chip and board to replace my home desktop (3770K + Z77 Extreme6), which will be used at work for distributed computing.

my 2500k was a bad clocker i remember everyone saying no no there awesome blah blah, but the chip did 4.3 100% stable and only did 4.4 99% stable.

Still chips not bad I guess just a IGP upgrade and some minor improvements. As usual intel wastes time on the IGP on a $300 chip where most systems will have a dedicated GPU anyway. These new intel IGPs need to be pushed into the I3 series, where they make far better bang for buck.

Oh well Its not all bad people will still get lucky time to time and get amazing Chips seen a couple that hit 4.8ghz so 4.2 to 4.8 is a 600mhz range thus far.

Why is everyone is whining? Most of you already have Sandy or Ivy ... just pass it and wait for the real deal - 14nm Broadwell or just Skylake. Intel just can't offer interesting stuff every year now. Their CPUs are like NFS series by EA.
